This study examined "Dorgan's" percutaneous lateral cross-wiring of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children
Abstract:
The preferred treatment of displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children is closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. Cross-wiring techniques are biomechanically superior to parallel lateral wiring techniques. The purpose of this study was to review the authors' experience with a novel cross-wiring technique performed entirely from the lateral side. Twenty children with more...

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between stage of epiphyseal union at the knee joint and chronological age in a modern Irish population
Abstract:
Characteristic changes during epiphyseal union provide a skeletal age, which when compared with age-based standards provides an estimation of chronological age. Currently there are no data on epiphyseal union for the purposes of age estimation specific to an Irish population. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the relationship between stage of epiphyseal union at the knee more...

This study aimed to compare parent's experience of professional services in the aftermath of their child's death from sudden infant death both before and after the implementation of a National Model of Care for professionals in 1995
Abstract:
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is any death occurring in an infant or young child which is unexpected by history and in which a thorough post mortem examination fails to demonstrate an adequate cause of death. The National Sudden Infant Death Register collects information on all sudden unexpected deaths in infants and young children occurring in Ireland. In this study, a comparison more...

This study aimed to explore findings of a national survey of propofol infusion use by paediatric anaesthetists in Great Britain and Ireland
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Since the introduction of propofol in 1977, it has been widely used for the induction and maintenance of anaesthesia and for sedation on the intensive care unit. Recently, case reports of suspected propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) following short term infusions have been published. We set out to obtain a picture of the current use of propofol infusions by paediatric more...

The aim of this study was to examine the frequency of a false negative result by sequencing studies in patients with hereditary pancreatitis and in healthy controls
Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is a rare form of recurrent acute and chronic pancreatitis. Mutations in the cationic trypsinogen (protease serine 1, PRSS1) gene have been identified as causing HP. The R122H (previously known as R117H) mutation is the commonest and can be detected by a single and rapid polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism more...

The aim of this study was to examine new anthropomorphic parameters as indicators of Cephalopelvic disproportion
Abstract:
Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) is a recognised obstetric problem with potential risk to both mother and infant. Identification of those mothers at risk of CPD is difficult and has concentrated in the past on such measurements as maternal shoe size and height. Our objective in this study was to examine new anthropomorphic parameters as indicators of CPD. This was a case controlled more...

These case reports discuss a novel germline mutation of the PTEN gene in a patient with macrocephaly, ventricular dilatation, and features of VATER association
Abstract:
Mutations of the PTEN gene are associated with hamartoma-neoplasia syndromes. While germline mutations at this chromosome 10q22-23 locus have been observed in patients with Cowden syndrome (CS) and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRR), both of which phenotypes are associated with hamartomata and neoplasia, somatic mutation of PTEN has been established in a wide variety of more...

The aim of this study was to examine a novel primary immunodeficiency consisting of specific natural-killer cell deficiency and susceptibility to viral diseases
Abstract:
We describe four children with a novel primary immunodeficiency consisting of specific natural-killer (NK) cell deficiency and susceptibility to viral diseases. One child developed an Epstein-Barr virus-driven lymphoproliferative disorder; two others developed severe respiratory illnesses of probable viral etiology. The four patients are related and belong to a large inbred kindred of more...
